One late afternoon in the summer of 1995, David Chettle, master sculptor, was driving across the Table Rock Dam in Branson, Missouri. He was overwhelmed with the beauty of the combination of the water, trees and hills surrounding him. At this very time is when he envisioned a paramount sculpture on a hilltop within viewing range of the dam.

Awakened at 4:00 a.m. the next morning with the vision of the hands of God reaching down from Heaven, David further envisioned the sculpture being made of polished bronze and being approximately 70’ in height. At the fingertips of God, and being presented by Him to the world today, David saw the Son of God, "HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN". This image of the Lord, the Son, was seen as being 36 feet high, with the right hand raised in blessing. On either sides of Jesus are the Ten Commandments and directly in front of Him is an eternal flame. Into this flame visitors would be invited to place their written prayers as an offertory to God.
